Assembling blow tube 1 – motor unit (Fig. 3a/3b)
Plug blow tube 1 (Item 2) onto the motor unit (Item 1). The groove (A) must be pushed into the guide (B) when you do this. Turn the blow tube to the right to secure it in its fi nal position on the motor unit.

Important! The tube must be turned as far as it will go to make sure it is fi rmly secured in position.

The machine can now be used as a workshop blower (Fig. 3c).

Assembling blow tube 2 – blow tube 1 (Fig. 4a/b)
Plug blow tube 2 (Item 3) onto blow tube 1 (Item 2). Secure the two blow tubes together (see Section 5.1). The scratch edge (Fig. 1/Item 3a) for freeing leaves from the ground must point downwards.
The machine can now be used as a leaf blower (Fig. 1).

Assembling blow attachment 3 – motor unit (Fig. 5a – 5c)
Plug the blow attachment (Item 8) onto the motor unit (Item 1). Secure the two parts together (see Section 5.1).
The machine can now be used as a workshop blower or as an ignition aid for charcoal barbecues (Fig. 5c).

Note: To dismantle the above mentioned attachments, proceed in reverse order.

Fitting the battery (Fig. 6a/6b)
Press the pushlock button (Item C) of the battery pack as shown in Fig. 6a and push the battery pack into the mount provided. When the battery pack is positioned as in Fig. 6b, make sure that the pushlock button latches in place! To remove the battery, proceed in reverse order!

Charging the battery (Fig. 7)

1. Take the battery pack (9) out of the equipment.
   Do this by pressing the pushlock button.

2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Insert the power plug of the charger into the socket outlet. The green LED will then begin to blink.

3. Insert the battery pack (9) into the charger (10).

4. In section „Charger indicator“ you will fi nd a table with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger.
   The battery pack can become a little warm during the charging. This is normal.

If the battery pack fails to charge, check:

• whether there is voltage at the socket outlet
• whether there is good contact at the charging contacts

If the battery pack still fails to charge, send

• the charging unit
• and the battery pack to our customer service center.

To ensure that items are properly packaged and delivered when you send them to us, please contact our customer service or the point of sale at which the equipment was purchased.
When shipping or disposing of batteries and cordless tools, always ensure that they are packed individually in plastic bags to prevent short circuits and fi res.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long service, you should take care to recharge it promptly.
You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the performance of the device drops.
Never allow the battery pack to become fully discharged.
This will cause it to develop a defect.

Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 8)
Press the button for the battery capacity indicator (A). The battery capacity indicator (B) shows the charge status of the battery using 3 LEDs.
All 3 LEDs are lit:
The battery is fully charged.

2 or 1 LED(s) are lit:
The battery has an adequate remaining charge.

1 LED fl ashes:
The battery is empty, recharge the battery.

All LEDs blink:
The battery temperature is too low. Remove the battery from the equipment, keep it at room temperature for one day. If the fault reoccurs, this means that the rechargeable battery has undergone exhaustive discharge and is defective. Remove the battery from the equipment. Never use or charge a defective battery.

Operation

Caution!
If you point the air flow at other people, animals or objects (e.g. windows), this could cause injuries and damage. Check that all the components are correctly seated. • Point the air flow away from yourself. • Never point the air flow at other people, animals or objects. • Do not blow away any hard objects such as stones or branches.

Switching the machine on/off (Fig. 9)

• Switching on:
  To switch on, press and hold the On/Off switch (Item 6).

• Switching off :
  Let go of the On/Off switch (Item 6).

Controlling the speed (Fig. 9/10)
The equipment comes with electronic speed control for setting the blowing velocity. The blowing velocity depends on the setting of the speed controller (Item 5). The number of LEDs which appear on the display (Item 4) correspond to the selected blowing velocity.

• 1 LED = lowest blowing velocity
• 5 LEDs = highest blowing velocity
  1. Switch on the machine (Section 6.1). The number of LEDs corresponding to the blowing velocity will appear on the display (Item 4).
  2. Turn the speed controller (Item 5) counterclockwise to reduce the blowing velocity, turn it clockwise to increase it. The speed controller will make an audible click when the maximum blowing velocity (5 LEDs on the display) is reached.
     Use the equipment only with the blowing velocity needed for the job.

Leaf blower (Fig. 1)

• Turn on the equipment (see section 6.1).
• Set the desired blowing velocity with the speed controller (see section 6.2).
• Direct the air stream forward and walk slowly to blow foliage or garden refuse into a pile or to remove it from hard-to-reach places.

Workshop blower (Fig. 3c / 5c)

• Turn on the machine (see Section 6.1).
• Begin by setting the lowest blowing velocity with the speed controller (see Section 6.2).
• Channel the air stream forward and move slowly to remove dust and dirt from any machine parts.

Ignition aid (Fig. 5c)

• Turn on the machine (see Section 6.1).
• Begin by setting the lowest blowing velocity with the speed controller (see Section 6.2).
• Hold the machine at an angle above the ignited charcoal.
• Keep a big enough distance away from the charcoal so that the heat does not damage any plastic parts.

Danger!
Never gather (blow) hot, combustible or explosive materials into piles.

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Danger!
Always pull out the battery pack before starting any cleaning work.

Cleaning

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
  Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.

• We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.

• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

Maintenance

• Should the tool experience problems beyond those mentioned above, let only an authorised professional or a customer service shop perform an inspection.
• There are no other parts inside the equipment which require maintenance.

Ordering replacement parts:
